METHODS: This correlational study was conducted using structural equation modeling (SEM) method. The statistical population included nurses working at public hospitals in Yazd City, Iran. A total of 308 nurses were selected by convenience sampling method. The data were collected using self-compassion scale, adult attachment styles scale, Jefferson scale of empathy and analyzed using structural equation analysis in AMOS software.
RESULTS: Secure and anxious/ambivalent insecure attachment styles were positively and negatively correlated with empathy, respectively (p < .01). The path coefficient between avoidant and anxious/ambivalent insecure attachment styles and self-compassion was negative. On the contrary, the path coefficient between secure attachment style and self-compassion was positive. There was a positive correlation between self-compassion and empathy. The indirect path coefficient of secure and anxious/ambivalent insecure attachment styles to empathy through self-compassion. was significant (p < .01).
CONCLUSIONS: The results showed secure and anxious/ambivalent insecure attachment could directly and indirectly through influencing self-compassion predict empathy in nurses.
方法:该相关性研究使用结构方程模型(SEM)方法进行。统计人群包括在亚兹德市公立医院工作的护士,伊朗。采用便利抽样法抽取308名护士。数据是用自我同情量表收集的,成人依恋风格尺度,在AMOS软件中使用结构方程分析对Jefferson量表进行移情分析。
结果:安全和焦虑/矛盾不安全的依恋方式与同理心呈正相关和负相关,分别(p<0.01)。回避和焦虑/矛盾的不安全依恋方式与自我同情之间的路径系数为负。相反,安全依恋风格与自我同情之间的路径系数为正。自我同情与同理心之间存在正相关。安全和焦虑/矛盾的不安全依恋方式通过自我同情到移情的间接路径系数。显著(p<0.01)。
结论:结果显示,安全和焦虑/矛盾的不安全依恋可以通过影响自我同情直接和间接地预测护士的同理心。
